Ryan wakes up, he's tall and relatively skinny, with short brown hair and blue eyes. He walks into the bathroom fixing his hair and shaving, he splashes water on his face before getting dressed in a black suit. He walks out getting into his car, an old Dodge Charger. He drives towards the NYPD, upon his arrival he gets out of the car and walks in. Officers watch him as he walks in as if they know something he doesn't, he frowns and walks over to his desk, a letter lays on it, it says.
Dear Detective Kole,
There are exactly twelve people hidden around the city, and you have until midnight tonight, the ones that you don't find will die. Be quick detective, they're depending on you.
you see me when you wake, and you come to me when you want some cake.
God speed Detective
sincerely, T.M.
Ryan sets the letter down on his desk, everyone still looking at him "don't you all have work to do" he barks and they all return to their paperwork, he checks the time
